A major merger of Syrian rebel groups in northern Syria has happened: Suqour al-Sham, Jaysh al-Islam's Idlib division, Jaysh al-Mujahideen, Fastaqim Union, the west Aleppo division of Sham Front all have merged with Harakat Ahrar al-Sham following the footsteps of Thuwwar al-Sham who earlier had announced their full merger with Ahrar al-Sham, northern Syria.

Renown Syrian reporter/activist Bahaa al-Halabi confirms that Jabhat Fateh al-Sham was behind his 'attempted' Idlib arrest, but he said he managed to escape arrest/being kidnapped as he managed to hide in orchards and that his uncle was arrested instead but he since been released.

The Turkish Deputy Prime Minister Kurtulmuş announced that once al-Bab, Syria, is captured as part of the Euphrates Shield Operation, it will be given back to the Syrian people, and not the Syrian government.

Jaysh al-Fateh denied they sent out a force to arrest activist Bahaa al-Halabi in Idlib City, and Bahaa al-Halabi friends are suspecting a Jabhat Fateh al-Sham hand but so far his kidnappers remain unidentified, northern Syria, Idlib.
